BACKGROUND: Patients treated for breast cancer often experience severe oral complications, such as mucositis, xerostomia, and infections, which can result in dose reductions and treatment delays, affecting treatment outcomes. .
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this article is to explore oncology nurses' perceptions of their educational experiences, professional attitudes, and behavior related to providing oral healthcare education to patients with breast cancer. .
METHODS: The Oncology Nursing Society sent an email to 5,000 nursing team members who cared for patients with breast cancer, requesting participation in a web-based survey; 194 responses were received, with 164 meeting study eligibility. .
More oral health-related education was received during clinical experiences than during formal or continuing education. Although patient-driven oral care and diagnostic efforts were frequent, actual behavior was less frequent. No major barriers to providing oral care were indicated. Increased oral health-related education and behavior correlated with the reported importance of increased oral health education for nurses.
接受乳腺癌治疗的患者常常会经历严重的口腔并发症，如粘膜炎、口干症和感染，这些并发症可能导致剂量减少和治疗延迟，从而影响治疗效果。
本文旨在探讨肿瘤护理人员对其与为乳腺癌患者提供口腔保健教育相关的教育经历、专业态度和行为的看法。
肿瘤护理学会向5000名护理乳腺癌患者的护理团队成员发送电子邮件，邀请他们参与一项基于网络的调查；共收到194份回复，其中164份符合研究资格。
临床实习期间接受的口腔健康相关教育比正规教育或继续教育期间更多。虽然患者驱动的口腔护理和诊断工作很常见，但实际行为却较少。未表明提供口腔护理存在重大障碍。与口腔健康相关的教育和行为增加与报告中护士对增加口腔健康教育重要性的认识相关。
